What is the procedure that the Northwest Foundation has followed in pursuing this building project?
A facilities committee has been assembled consisting of members of the Northwest Foundation Board of Directors and the Northwest Alumni Association, many of whom are Maryville residents. After benchmarking with other universities, several sites on and near campus were explored by the facilities committee. The committee also considered the possibility of redesigning the Alumni House. When these findings were presented to the full Foundation Board, it was determined the best solution was to build a new facility to the immediate west of the Alumni House (at the corner of College Avenue and Munn Street) that would fulfill the three guiding principles enumerated under item 4.
